Christmas is a time for giving, celebration and indulgence.
But for some Jersey families and communities it is a massive struggle, with not enough money to put a turkey on the Christmas table or to pay the bills, let alone buy presents for their children and grandchildren. These are the people who can benefit from the Jersey Christmas Appeal, and this is why the Appeal is so important.
Please help us if you can.
Watch the video below to find out more about why the appeal is important, how the appeal supports the local community and the ways you can help.
